Hello,

I have modified a sample VBscript to

- declare variables
- suppress error messages
- set reference to WSH network object
- remove 3 network drives in case they are already in use
- add 3 network drives
- add 2 connections to network printers
- set one of the printers as default printer
- make application visible

The script itself works fine both on the server (2003) and on the hosts (XP
pro.) The problem I am having is running these upon login automaticaly. I
have looked this up on help and the Internet with no avail.

I have pointed an individual's logon script to the correct location

\\blyth-server\SYSVOL\BLYTH.local\scripts\unit20staff.vbs

but it is not running it when I login as this user. Really what I'd like to
do it apply the script to the group of users (unit 20 staff) so when any of
them login, they get the drives and printers in the script.

Please help!

Thank you.

Richard Smith
